I had just setup mail.app and began to download messages. There's about 900 messages residing on the server and I was trying to download them all. After 379 messages mail.app suddenly stopped.

I clicked the "Get Mail" button again, and it looked like mail.app was about to start downloading the rest. It connected to the server, authenticated successfully, checked and found unseen message, prepared to retrieve messages, said it was fetching them and then just stopped. No new messages were downloaded.

Anyone know why it would do this, and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Mike

I was looking for help with a Mail problem and there were some posts at Apple support saying that if you have Comcast, and you delete a recent Paypal e-mail from your comcast.net mail account, it will free up those .Mac messages for download. Apparently that PayPal e-mail prevents the .Mac server from downloading all subsequent messages, even though it's on a separate server. That's all I remember, but it appeared to work for a number of people.
